Discount brokers will be gone. Regional banks merged into Too Big to Fail. Even now, you can get checking at some brokers - Schwab, Fidelity.

As for the current melt up in stocks post-blockade pre-blockage waiting for post-blockhead ... people think stocks are going up, and they are, but it's AI euphoria with oil lubrication. Stocks are reflating, inflating because the money is worthless. Besset told us, "Breton Woods reset". If you don't buy assets now, you pay more later because your money will be worthless.

Can't wait to bank, broker, borrow, beg at Trump Financial.
